So, Scarif is out now, and if you go into single player skirmish, the Bo-rifle is available. However it is not in the online play in anyway, no Hutt Contract or anything. a little disappointing.

Rumors are it'll be a viral release when the developers play around the holidays. By that I mean that developers armed with it will play on each of the 3 platforms, and people that kill them will earn it. Then, if those people equip it and are killed, their assailant will be granted the Bo Rifle. A lot of people have thought this could be really difficult to make happen, though, so we will have to see

Its great, i think it was just ninja stealth released to the community, look at bottom of your guns list. Its a one shot melee kill weapon with pretty basic and slow cycling semi automatic firing. But jump pack and cattle prods are a thing now.

If you want the Bo-Rifle people are using the snot out of it on the Outter Rim DLC. Just take one out (I.E.- eliminate your enemy) and claim the yellow token, that's what I did. Easy as pie.

(1.) You need to use 'Explosive Shot' with the Bo-Rifle for close quarter but about 10' away though, otherwise it takes four shots to the chest to drop someone, especially if they have a good Trait Card active.

(2.) Head shots (without 'Explosive Shot') with the Bo-Rifle at mid-range will drop them in one to two shots depending upon if they have a good Trait Card activated or not. Soooooo shoot fast no hesitation.

(3.) Long Range Sniping with the Bo-Rifle I recommend definitely the 'Explosive Shot' to maximize effect. Fire rapidly and they should drop but a good enemy Trait Card may deny you your kill.

(4.) Melee is an one hit electrical kill with the Bo-Rifle, works best when being stealthy and sneaky. You can also 'Jump Pack', drop down and melee enemies. This may take some practice and skill though.
